name successful fast bowlers who spend countless hours lifting weights and i garuntee you that there are none Most of them just do treadmill work abs etc. Lifting weights especialy at this young age may stop your growth plates from expanding hence stoppin you from growing
Chaim i actually want to stop growing, im 6ft and im only 14! so i hope i do and yeah i still do treadmill stuff aswell!

Chaim you really don't understand do you just because you have muscles it doesnt mean you are overweight and will therefore be slow. Such a thing as lean muscle mass exists! Even if your big doesnt mean you will be slow either - Michael Carberry?

lifting weights regularly is not good for fast bowlers ( Test Bowlers and former test bowlers have told me this)

no he didnt but going to the gym doesnt mean you have to do heavy weight lifting doing a well structured muscular endurance and a bit of a power program will make you bowl faster and more consistantly

Weights dont mean your going to turn out like the worlds strongest man people, if anything weights training will be good for bowling.

Chaim, you clearly lack the mental capability to understand what is being said to you. Read my post again I have explained to you exactly what bowlers do. Nobody has said anything about Benching more than your own body weight, it's a case of low weight lots of reps as I have previously explained, that builds your muscular endurance which is vital in any sport in which you will be excerting a lot of muscular force over a long period of time. I know a number of professional/international players all of which do gym work, several of them bowlers. I have seen many a cricketer in the gym, your living in the past bring yourself up to the date, state of the art gym equipment is there to improve players not make them worse. For example Bond, Shane Bond. Without a gym he would never have bowled a ball again, he worked his (No Swearing Please) off for months and what a surprise in his fitness regime he had an hour of weights, combined with cardio sessions and boxing training, and got himself back playing international cricket, when he could have been finished.
